Tracking

Do you like being tracked online? I am sure that you all have heard all the horror stories about how much money these companies are making off of the information that they have about you and even your family. To be perfectly honest, it is a tad bit annoying when you are online and the ads that you see which can get a bit pushy sometimes are related to what you are searching for. The one thing that you have to remember that there is no way to get around being tracked. It will always happen, whether you are using email or internet fax or just trolling around the web. Third-party tracking is where the questionable practices come in, but even those practices have some upsides. If you are tracked by your preferred retailer, you may start seeing ads for products you may actually be interested in. You may get deals or sales in ads directed toward you. Less spammy and more personalized advertisements may make you despise that drop-down advertisement a little less, especially if it is something you’re inclined to look into further. As good as that sounds, there is no real line that is drawn as to where it stops.

  4. Does tracking happens when someone is using internet phones? Does that mean that someone can be listening?
